From what i read, he didn't actually want anything to come of it. He didn't report anything, Clarkson turned himself into management. The dude is also out of a job currently, as he's a producer for Top Gear. Bape Culture posted:He's called "Oisin," who gives a poo poo. I think everyone can agree with this. He went to hospital for a cut lip. Seriously?

Backov posted:What crime is that? He wasn't charged with anything, by anyone. This has to be becase of the victim not wanting to press charges (most likely so clarkson wouldnt get fired and end his job for good), there is no way a british cop sees a man being assaulted and says something subjective like "Your injuries are so minor i choose not to press charges". I guess no criminal charges were filed, but it still feels like a crime to me.

He got angry with someone he knew personally and punched him. Yes, that is stupid but it's not like he assaulted some random person on the street. Because it was at work, the BBC has to get involved. Once they solve the issue, there is no more issue. Clarkson isn't a violent monster.

People punch each other all the time without consequence but those people have still committed assault. Clarkson has been in the news more than once for punching people he found disagreeable. I mean, sure, he's not a monster, but that's violence. I've never punched someone in the heat of the moment. To be clear, I also don't give a poo poo because I watch him to entertain me and be a huge manchild, but drawing lines when things actually become physical isn't super baffling or anything.

They replaced the entire role and started doing guest hosts every episode. Top Gear should do that as well. One week, Richard and James will get getting along swimmingly with Steve Coogan (in character as Alan Partridge perhaps?), next week they're doing a camper van challenge with Brian Blessed, the week after that they have to suffer a Jedward takeover. Of course it won't work, but it will two series of absolute mayhem before the entire concept goes supernova.

That would be the most glorious way for top gear to have died. Clarkson goes to fifth gear and the bbc burns to the ground putting women into its two most popular shows. (I'm still pre-bracing for "Doctor Who") Not that i hold any ill will to the BBC, its just the most dramatic finish.

It airs on BBC America on Monday nights. The first airing is 90 minutes and it's the full uncut showing (although music they don't have the rights to in the US has to be replaced (it's 90 minutes because they insert commercials) Other airings of that episode are all edited down to 60 minutes including commercials.

If anything causes the BBC to implode it'll be the crop of arseholes currently in government following the orders of Mr Murdoch and Lord Rothermere. But who cares about the UK production sector, it's only worth a couple of billion pounds to the economy each year.

It does seem that way, and yet Tiff Needell and Vicki Butler-Henderson are actually pretty good presenters and are seasoned racing drivers. Maybe it's just a bit too serious, there's not enough loving about and doing silly stuff with cars. Testing an Evo around a track? Quite informative, but it's just not the same as ragging an Evo around a military testing ground while being hunted by a tank.

We don't watch top gear to see a presenter do things that are within our means; we watch it to see if a supercar can beat a small plane across Europe.

Tiff always sounds like he's on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Vicki is a bit stiff. Jonny Smith is usually good for a segment featuring older cars.
